I'd be interested in something like this. I only use the Overground however and something tells me that any app, official or otherwise, would omit that. When I get my Desire a National Rail app and an Overground app would be a brilliant combo for me.

I can't quite remember if it covered overground but I used this app for the underground and it was really good. You get 24 hour refund so you might as well try it.
 
I find onair to be better than swiftp, seems a lot nicer and simpler to use. Websharing is also a similar app with webdav.
 
Any apps that show the time and date on screen even when the phone is asleep?
The inbuilt desk clock does this but it dissapears as soon as the phone goes dark.

You can't via the browser.

Either access it via a folder in Windows or download something like Filezilla :)

Also, you can add your phone as a network location if you go into My Computer and right click > add Network Location. Then you can access your phone in 1/2 clicks :) (Which then you also create a sendto shortcut if you wish, for even faster transfers)

ok help please

i have my music indexed in itunes and have playlists. what app can i use on android that can synch up my itunes playlists on my android phone?

i've tried doubletwist over the last few days and it is total junk (copies the songs over but doesn't create playlists on the phone so their app can't see anything).

Wait on 2.2 this weekend hopefully, are you rooted and custom Rom? Would mean you could get this quicker

HTC is going all out, promising several features not in stock 2.2:

* 720p video recording
* iTunes syncing via HTC's Sync software
* The "AppShare" widget that came on the Wildfire
* Smart CallerID

Or you could use DoubleTwist. Very similar interface to iTunes too.
 
Hi again, is there an app which will stop the volume up and down keys on the t-mobile pulse from taking the handset off of silent? Or is there some other means.

I.e. Handset is on silent mode, accidentally press vol up or down and silent mode is cancelled.

Ok im rubbish at networking.
I installed Estrongs and am trying to access my windows 7 shares - but it asks me for a username and password?
I cant remember setting up any usernames or passwords?
Any tips?

Set a password on the Windows 7 machine for the login you're trying to access from the phone. W7 doe'snt allow for an unpassworded share.
 
There is a new app out called Scrollable ContactWidget. Which,as the name suggests,adds a widget that allows you to scroll through your contacts(obviously you need to be able to use scrollable widgets!). I'm just waiting on the dev to release the 4x4 widget.

Anyone else had problems with Handcent sending the same message multiple times when you have ropey signal?

I've had a bit of the opposite, it doesn't try to resend when it failed if you are in a bad area. It just sits with rotating circle.
Others have posted this as a bug on their forums
